Even though I don't particularly care for indie-rock, the phrase "corny indie fuxx" bothers me a lot.

(plus I thought one of the bad things about indie was that it just about defined itself by its *lack* of sentimentality/corn i.e. Tortoise vs Shania Twain)

corn, like many other vegetables, is only good in moderation.

Most of the corniest indie fuxx are the nicest, best posters on ILM

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

also there's nothing wrong with listening to any genre ever even if only white people play it

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

I really do owe trife a beer for creating this term

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

and loving indie rock /= being a corny indie fuxx

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

I hope! *gulp*

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

aye, there's nothing wrong with listening to indie, so long as you don't make sweeping patronising/dismissive comments about dance music/hip-hop/pop music. so yeah, the term bothers me a little too.

I mean, if you want Chris Ott to listen to better music have a reasonable conversation with him! "Be the bigger person" and shit! It's not like he uses a corny pseudoynm! Look him up in the phone book and have coffee with him!

I think people are focusing on the 'indie' part too much, and missing the 'corny' and 'fuxx' which is the jist of the squib

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Making sweeping/dismissive comments is a symptom of ignorance not some intrinsic "corniness"! Educate the masses! spread the love!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sonny - they said the same thing to Neville Chamberlain

then why hasn't "corny pop fuxx" caught on?

Because it sounds like an awesome breakfast cereal

alright! whatever! i had a medical procedure done today and I'm not allowed to drive a car sio I'm posting on ILM! what ever happened to the values of humanity? what ever happened to fairness and equality? instead of spreading love we're spreading hate an animosity I'm gonna go for a bike ride peace!

i'm more of a cornhole indie fuc

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

i mean - i'll happily be labelled an indie dude (without the corny), cos i listen to quite a bit of indie (although i listen to other genres). but i'm guessing i *have* seen the term used to refer to indie fans who are completely polite and reasonable about their tastes - which is why i kind of dislike it.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sonny - J0hn invokes 'corny popist fuxx' all the time

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sincere question: What is the difference between your regular indie-enjoying person and the corny fuxx kind?

― Patrick (Patrick), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

the haircut

On that other thread, it wasn't the "corny indie fuxx" that got me, it was the "kkkorny indie fukkks" -- ie/ the three (special) Ks. Now, maybe that's a breakfast cereal too, but ain't there a Godwin's Law or something?

― David A. (Davant), Friday, 22 August 2003 00:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

nay, we were out tonite in soho and they were playing archigram and shit, and i was all admitting about owning an east river pipe record and shit, indie is cool actually, its kinda funny, those 2 people in that pic look kinda cool to hang out with, indie people are kinda ok, i like em!

I think if some ppl who listen to indie are bothered by this then they should make up something for ppl who just like hip-hop and r&b (since I don't listen to any of this it isn't my job to do it).

I mean, if you want Chris Ott to listen to better music have a reasonable conversation with him!

You're assuming people like him are open to listening to other music.

― Larcole (Nicole), Friday, 22 August 2003 11:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Indie bretheren, learn from hip hop and embrace the word that's used to put you down. Imagine a wave of indie lyrics giving shout outs to cornieness.

corny indie fuxx >>>>>> corny soul fuxx

false

corny soul fuxx may be more boring but are more likely to be playing good music while they do it

corny soul fuxx are more likely to be playing good music while they do it

score on "am I emo": 5/14. Black hair dye (in the past tho), geeky glasses, deep reads, fun socks (mostly in the past tho, and fuck no I don't count argyle as "fun"), clunky shoes

thats exactly why corny soulers are worse! indie fuxx and their shitty music are easier to avoid. xposts

― ☪, Saturday, 15 December 2007 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link

this is like a glass half full glass half empty deal, crescent star dude

with corny soul dude I can say "well, dude has some fucking awesome sides, whatever else his deal is" but with corny indie dude it's like "this conversation might be all right but I get hives every time you bring up [several band names redacted by Self-Preservationbot6000]"

― J0hn D., Saturday, 15 December 2007 23:18 (sixteen years ago) link

god what is that '80s teener movie with the dude who is ALL into James Brown? It's not 'Just One of the Guys' is it? Anyway that guy made me hate soul fuxx forever.

― wanko ergo sum, Saturday, 15 December 2007 23:20 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah but what early mid-'90s movie is it with the insufferable indie dude? oh yeah that's right: ALL OF THEM

― J0hn D., Saturday, 15 December 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

i dunno j0hn, soul fuxx are worse to talk about music with, most of the corny indie fuxx i know are in such a different lane from me tastewise i find it easier to get along with
